Terry,

Type SQLLDR at the command prompt, and all the help is displayed.

The answer to your question is :

sqlldr load=50 will load only 50 records.

Another option is to copy your data file and delete everything except for the number of records to load for testing purposes.

Hope this helps.

I have tried reviewing the docs, but I didn't see anything that answered the question. Is it possible to limit the number of records being loaded? We have a file that has records in the 6 digit range. I'd like to test the controlfile, but I don't want to load the whole file. Is there a way to tell loader to only load, say the 1st 100 records?
